This bike is an adrenaline shot for both new and seasoned riders, not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Enjin & performence
Harley has equipped the X400 with a 440cc air-oil cooled single cylinder engine, an everyday reliable drive paired with hearty throttle response. The engine produces 27 bhp at 6000 rpm and provides torque of 38 Nm at 4000 rpm, making the X400 lively in the city and composed on highways. Powering away from stop lights and navigating lock-to-lock turns is easy thanks to Harley’s familiar low-end grunt. On top of the fun factor, the X400 provides a mile to the liter figure of 35, making it economical and a pleasure to ride.
Highlights for the Urban Rider
More than a simple retro-look motorcycle, the 2025 X400 is equipped with the latest technology. The motorcycle has a 3.5-inch TFT digital console which comes with navigation, geo-fencing, music control, and displays speed and distance among other parameters. The city commutes and weekend trips are made stress-free with the dual-channel ABS, assist and slipper clutch, and USB charging for added safety. Harley is as connected as any new-gen rival with access-apps such as “Find My Vehicle” and SOS alerts.
Muscular Looks, Confident Stance
The appearance of Harley X400 vividly displays a retro inspired roadster which is muscular in stature. The look is a thoughtful blend of contemporary and traditional styles and celebrates the brand’s heritage. The broad fuel tank with a capacity of 13.5 liters coupled with the robust trellis frame and split seat lends the X400 a bold posture. The motorcycle boasts LED lighting and signature daylight running lights which enhance style and provide safety. The X400 measures 2168 mm in length and has a ground clearance of 170 mm, and so has a commanding presence. A cruiser which is equally comfortable pulling up to a café or gliding through open highways.
Handling and Safety: Comfort Meets Control
Comfort and confident handling are paired with KYB upside-down forks and gas-filled twin rear shocks. Positive stopping power is provided with twin disc brakes with 320 mm at the front and 240 mm at the rear. MRF tubeless tyres also provide reliable grip in all conditions. True to Harleys trademark riding posture: Braced upright but assertive, riders are able to fully command the X400 whether cornering hard or cruising at leisure. At a manageable 190.5 kg kerb weight, the X400 is reassuringly stable for first time buyers.
Price and Value
Expect the new X400 (X440) to be priced around ₹2.40 lakh ex-showroom in India. Harley has angled the bike as its most affordable entry point, positioning it at the lowest end of the lineup and without sacrificing premium features. Sleek tech and Harley branding at every turn mark the X400 as a serious contender for solo city commutes, longer weekend excursions, and for anyone looking to test the waters of the Harley experience with everyday versatility.
